Edinburgh – Calton Hill

On my last morning I went up to Calton Hill and took the obligatory shots of the Old Town, the New Town, Arthur’s Seat and all the rest from this most extraordinary viewpoint. There’s not a lot to say, rally, except: enjoy the images. I enjoyed being there and taking them.

The classic view – the Stewart Memorial and skyline beyond

Later I did a bit of shopping. Here’s one last picture – the inside of the old part of Jenner’s department store. These days just a House of Fraser store, one of two along Princes Street. The answer to the old question “where’s the best place to go shopping in Edinburgh?” is still “Glasgow!”
